Slide 7. (Contemplation)

A look at the inside of a house - A cluttered environment

Slide 11. (Contemplation)

An image of a box appears in the characters mind

Thinking outside the box to look at the potential effect of the change in their life on the people around them

Family and Friends materialize around the box as the character reflects on them

Idea 1. - Introduction

A brief statement on change - An introduction to our creative response

We introduce a blank slate - a character who exists within the first state of change (Pre-contemplation)

This character is currently defending their current mental and physical problems

The minimal presentation of our response initially reflects the dull and bland visual of the character

We introduce the character and their situation

The character has recently moved overseas into a whole new environment

They have also lost someone very special to them

These ideas of Grief and Independence reflect the current status of our character, but initially they refuse these changes in their lives

Idea 2 - Contemplation

Our character is now in a new environment (New External Imagery)

More environmental visuals are provided compared to the previous idea section, and more are added as this section develops

Continuing from the previous Idea, this section focuses on the internal conflicts and thoughts of our character

Emphasis on the thought process of our character

Imagery of inside their mind

A Brain Map of their thoughts

Thought bubbles to communicate ideas

Maybe a visual of their feelings through objects and music

Our character reflects on the changes in their feelings and mind when they were confronted by a challenge in their life

The character begins to think outside the box (Visual) of the pros and cons of the change in their life

The character also looks at the potential consequences of this change on other people

At the end of this section, more and more visuals inside and outside of our character begin to take shape

Idea 3 - Preparation/Determination

Our character then prepares to take on the change in their life

Possible Imagery (In Order):

Adaptation

Maybe show how the character adapts to the new changes in their life/embrace the changes at first

Planning

Maybe like imagery of blueprints in overcoming the change

Determination

Maybe the character's goal/action is at the top of a giant staircase and we could have a visual of each step being an internal/external obstacle the character must push through

Our character first embraces the changes around them and begins to properly prepare to take action against change

Once the character reaches the point of action, the next section begins

Idea 4 - Action/Maintenance

Our character takes action in response to the change in their life

Maybe the visual of the action being a reward or item could be used

A closer look at the action is taken - What is the action?

Possible Imagery

Maybe the action is a picture of what the future of their life will look like

Maybe the action is an item that the character keeps as a reminder to deal with change

Once the audience/viewer understands what the action is, a visual of our character maintaining the change in their life is shown

They meet new people in their new environment

They have a picture of their lost loved one

They are generally positive and outgoing

At the end of this section, colour will fill every piece of imagery that was once black and white before in each section

My change/experience
Wanted to be one place, did not want to move.
- moving to a new country and having to make a change was not on my watch
- I learnt from here that change for me means growing and seeing/exploring other parts of the world

# data[].attributes.body
there are different types of changes that happen/are happening around us - some which we are aware of and some that we may not know of or see. they could be small things or even big changes, but they all matter to us in some way.

# data[].attributes.body
I did not want to lose the friends I had. I was too comfortable where I already was. change did not sound so good to me.

Pros:
- opportunity for new a new experience
- better chance in getting a good education overseas
- I still had my (immediate) family with me

Cons:
- did not know what was out there
- fear of meeting new people and
adapting to change
- losing my old friends
- not having a lot of family, especially my cousins, around

I had no choice, I had to move. if I did not it would make things more complicated for my family. a decision had already been made.

what motivated me to change was that my dad had talked to me about not having to stay in the same place for a long time. it's good to get out there and experience the world. the first step I took to make a change was deicing not the be comfortable and step out of my comfort zone. therefore, the action I took was acceptance.

as a result, I have seen that it is not so bad to accept and let change happen. I have grown from my experience and stepping out of comfort zones only make you better. I have learnt that I do not want to stay in the same place/environment.

Image - a visual: it felt like I was going to a whole new world - it was not the same. I did not know what to expect, hence did not want to accept the change happen.

I was confused and quite traumatised at first when I lost a family member. My mind just went blank and I didn’t know how to feel about losing someone close to me and how it will change my life.

Pros:

Reflect on the life of my family member

Celebrate the life of my family member

My immediate family would be there to support me and each other

Cons:

I was going to miss them

Although I felt quite emotionally exhausted from their loss, I felt horrible that other family members had to try and move on from the loss of a family member

The close relationships of the family member that passed away would be broken

Consequences:

Family would be in a state of confusion - how do they live on with the loss of a close loved one?

Other family would be forever changed by the loss of a loved one

I felt that sitting in grief and sadness would only worsen my mental state. I knew immediately that I had to live on in memory of the loved one I lost and let nothing bring me down about their absence in my life. I decided to sing for them at their funeral, and to strive to work hard in my studies as they did in their life.

As a result of their absence, I am much closely connected with my extended family then before. I remain in contact with family very frequently - more than once a week. I've also learned to appreciate every moment and day in my life, whether it may be good or bad. I remain diligent with my study and I hope to start living not just for myself, but for my family and friends.

Possible project name: The Art of Change

Link to group slideshow via google docs: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LQ_Gqd6Cm7MBD6fW0cUvqjy15SyC9ugxj4DpJMsDRLc/edit?usp=sharing

Summary of response:
After reviewing our work again, we decided that our previous theme on "Equity and Dignity" was a broad theme to discuss in/for our creative response. Therefore, after some thinking, we decided to get a whole new theme and came up with the idea of "Change".

What to do from here:
Based on theme, identify different aspects in our own lives where we experienced change (any sort)
*Also, new theme relates to "change" of our theme - small change, but still, it's change

Story idea/narration:
- Create a whole new character that goes through different changes
- Starts off as a stick man/figure (e.g. image)
- Character does not want change, but goes through them anyway because that is how life goes sometimes
- By the end of the story, character realises that change is not so bad
*at the end - the one character has changed and has grown - is finally a full/whole person - reveals that it is the three of us and how we have changed

Conor: The most significant change I faced in my life was dealing with grief.

- I've had a few older family members pass away over the course of my life, and each time there was a loss, I had to learn how to move on and adapt to a world without them

Project name: The Art of Change
Purpose: This creative piece responds to the play titled 'Black Diggers', using drama and film collaboratively

Synopsis: Black Diggers focuses on the untold story of the thousand indigenous soldiers who served in World War 1 and their lives before and after the event. The stage play shows the progression through three stages of the soldiers' involvement in the war: enlistment, life as a soldier, and returning home.
